   Ian Miller, Arto Oksanen and Nakajima-san have reported further
observations.

Arto's comment:

Dear VSNET,

I was able to observe briefly between very persistent cloudiness in
Finland. I noticed that OT J071126+440405 was bright (CR=15 or so), so
I started a time series and got two eclipses before clouds rolled
in. The star varied between 15 and 16 magnitudes, except in eclipses
it dropped again like a stone down to 18-20 magnitudes.

The pre-eclipse dip appeared just before the second eclipse. Very exciting
star!
